Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

NorwayThe hostel is located in Sofokleus which is known for being the bad part of town, so if you walk downhill from the hostel you may enter bad areas. Worst of all is the noise, day in and day out it’s extremely noisy with cars honking and trucks idling, people shouting etc. The rooms offer bare minimum, only a sheet, pillow and a blanket (and the bed too of course). The common area only has a few benches and not very inviting, also there is no kitchen for guests to use
The location is very central, short walks away from Arkropolis and Monastiraki. If you need to take a taxi, there’s Omonias sq. which is about 3-400m away from the hostel Also the price is very nice for being in the middle of Athens

AustraliaHot water can be hit or miss and can be a long wait. The rooftop is the only real common area and is frequented by many guests but is largely neglected by staff (although the bins are emptied daily). Littered with building materials, it could be so much better than it is (as at April 2024). The "kitchen" on the rooftop is a joke: while there is a fridge, a kettle, and a microwave (the latter apparently provided by long-term guest Samantha), there is no cutlery and almost no crockery. The water supply is intermittent. The kitchen area is in need of a deep clean, some basic utensils, and a lot of maintenance.
Location is good. They have 24-hour reception where 2 out of 3 staff are nice, friendly people. Rooms/dorms and bathrooms are clean, and beds are comfortable. Security wise, there is proximity-card access to rooms/dorms (but no lockers available). Some rooms have little balconies and a convenient wash basin inside. Towel provided on request. Rooftop is disappointing.

GreeceAlthough the hostel is located close to the major tourist attractions, the area is not really safe. Beware of pickpockets and keep your backpacks/bags close. It's kinda strange that the showers and toilets have glass doors? Frosted glass but you can still see if anyone is inside. The kitchen was not great. It's on the rooftop! If it's raining, be prepared to cook under the rain. You have to pay extra for the safe.
Right in the city centre, 20 min by foot to Acropolis. Free towels. Hot showers. The room I stayed in had a wardrobe, a table and a chair. Sockets near every bunk. WiFi was good.

United States of AmericaThe kitchen had 1 fork and 1 plate. I had my own travel untensils with me but there wasn't even a bowl for muesli in the morning so I bought a tub of tomatoes, ate them, and then used the tub as my bowl. I also ended up sharing with other people because there were no cups to drink out of either so we had to wash the tub over and over so that we could all drink something.
The location was really good! It is walking distance from the Parthenon and any museums around it. There are also super markets and fruit markets nearby. I wouldn't call this a plus or a minus but the people can be a little out of the ordinary. I saw reviews saying that before and I didn't really think that much of it but it's true. Nothing bad happened to me but you should be aware of your surroundings and think about who you're with before you agree follow them god knows where.

AustriaThe sleeping room was alright, the toilet door was broken though. I did not use the lockers because I would have had to pay 2€ everytime I used them. The window in my room was broken, it got a little cold during the night.
The staff always helped when there were questions. The sleeping room was alright. I liked the kitchen because they have a kettle, microwave, a plug in stove, pans, spoon, knifes and more stuff, they also have a fridge. There is not mich but it was enough to cook. The Hostel is very very well located.
